Apple Game Center allows you to keep a friends list, track your in game achievements, and compare with your friends. Many games are starting to support this. Currently this only runs on iPod & iPhone, but an update will be coming soon that enables this for iPad users.

Make sure to checkout the official CAG Game Center Exchange Thread. You can post your game center name and see the names of your favorite CAG'rs. You can also exchange OpenFeint & Plus+ names there.

General iOS FAQ

1. Make sure to check for periodic updates either in iTunes or on your iOS devices. For each release of new firmware, there's usually a bunch of games updated right afterward.

2. Some applications also go on sale by their authors when they reach 1 million download and similar milestones.

3. Apps often have specials the day before, during, and after holidays, regardless if said game/app is related to the holiday.

4. Newly released apps will often have a % or dollar amount off for a limited period of time to gain a large following quicker. While browsing the app store you can go to a particular type or genre and order according to release date. This can make finding new app discounts faster.

5. Apps can be re-downloaded from your iOS device. To do this open the App Store and look for a tab called "Purchased". From here you can re-download any previously purchased apps.

6. I strongly advise not to buy iTunes Gift Cards by 3rd parties unless you know they can be trusted. Retail stores, receiving cards as gifts are the best ways. There are many credit card scams, stolen cards, hacked cards going around, especially on Ebay.

7. If you are the victim of a iTunes Card scam or get your account locked due to one not all hope is lost. Apple has been fairly lenient on these issues. Call Apple directly at 1-800-MY-APPLE or check the iTunes Store support page. Also going to your local Apple Store to discuss it can help. The account locking is an automated process and can be reversed. This can take time so be cautious if you use gift cards from 3rd party sources.

8. If you somehow break your iOS device, you have some options. If you bought the Applecare warranty it should be covered for most items. If your Applecare ran out or you don't have one, try using one of the repair guides on iFixit to repair it yourself. Apple Stores have been known to give discounts if you bring in a iOS device that they will not fix since it's not in warranty. This discount however is very small.

9. Using a screen protector can extend the life of your device. Most stores carry these, but they can be hard to install. The best I have personally used are made by a company called Power Support. They have both clear and anti-glare protectors. They are easier to install because the protector is a firm yet thin piece of plastic. Griffin Technologies and Zagg are also very good.

10. Universal Apps have a small plus sign in the upper left corner next to their price. They can be played natively on both the iPad and iPod/iPhone. iPhone games that are not universal can still be played on the iPad with a lower resolution. Non universal iPad games cannot be played on the iPhone.

Feel free to add games, genres or move titles as needed. This list is to give CAGs a chance to catch up on missed high-quality games and to get new users started on "can't miss" titles to download for their new idevice. Underlined titles are universal (ipad and iphone/ipod touch). Italic are iPad only.

Just a heads up - we're about to hit the App Store freeze that Apple does around the holidays where apps won't change in price. Usually about two weeks long starting just around Christmas.

Not quite sure where this comes from as people said the same thing last year but there were sales like crazy all around Christmas last year...I even checked the thread to make sure. EA had nearly all their games for 99 cents the week of Christmas.

Some notable mentions right now:-Flight Control and Mirror's Edge are currently FREE for iPhone and iPad-Scrabble is 99 cents for iPhone (iPad version is 50% off at $4.99, but I've seen that go for much cheaper)

finally a new thread it's looking much better i found this gem of a game Aniphon that resembles pokemon, but where you are in the real world determines what animals you find it's pretty neat and it's free

The highly-enjoyable Mad Skills Motocross is the main FAAD game at the moment."Turning a fan-favorite genre on its head, the hyper-addictive Mad Skills Motocross plays and feels like no other side-scrolling racing game. The unparalleled physics engine and unexpected power-ups give you a level of control that you have to play to believe. Launch off an enormous jump, land on your rear wheel, hit the throttle, and leave your opponent in a spray of dirt—then brag about it on Facebook and Twitter! Mad Skills Motocross is fun for novices but deep enough for nearly endless competitive high-level play. You’ll need to master wheelies, stoppies, nitro, rocket boots, backflips, front flips, and much more to truly be the best."

Drake's Tower Ultimate Adventure is the OpenFeint FGotD."GET OFF MY LAWN! Help crazy old Drake defend his tower on Golden Island from brain-washed zombies, hostile alien life and unimaginable dangers. Get ‘em in your cross hairs and greet them with flaming arrows, sub machine guns, and other deadly inventions!Protect Drake's Tower from countless waves of enemies with his ingenius inventions! Charge them with elements of Fire, Stone, or Electricity and create devastating combos! Battle through 50 unique levels in Adventure Mode or withstand unending enemy fire in the battle for a "Survivor Master" title. Whatever it takes to show ‘em who’s boss!"

downloaded Drake's Tower, then I realized it was a freemium game. I hate those. I'd rather just pay the $3.

I'm 100% shocked that books still exist in today's day and age. I thought they'd be out by now. They make up like 1% of today's entertainment and unless you're 60 or older, stray away from books and start emersing yourself with real entertainment.
